We have done and are doing everything to strengthen our friendship, our partnership between nations, these meetings serve to bring our countries closer and strengthen friendship, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at a joint briefing with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili in Tbilisi, Georgian Channel One reports.
During their discussion, Aliyev and Garibashvili also emphasized the significance of peace in the South Caucasus.
“Challenges persist, and issues remain unresolved, peace has not yet been fully established in the South Caucasus, and today we discussed this matter during our conversation with Mr. Prime minister. The South Caucasus is in need of peace, and the time is now. As the Prime Minister has already stated, we consistently support Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, just as Georgia supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. We consistently stand by each other in international organizations and on all other issues that serve the interests of our countries, our nations, and support each other. This is a fundamental principle of international law, violations of international law and infringements on territorial integrity are absolutely unacceptable, and we are in full agreement on this,” Aliyev stated.
It is worth reminding that during a recent telephone conversation with the head of the European Council, Aliyev discussed the need to “liberate eight Azerbaijani villages occupied by Armenia.”
